NOT a good experience tonight! We are repeat customers and we had a substandard dining experience. We were willing to wait the 25 minutes that we did but once we were seated it was downhill from there. The waitress told us that we couldnt share our dinner entree (no, it was not an all-you-can-eat menu item). Then when I ordered just an appetizer and my wife ordered an entree, she questioned why I wasnt ordering an entree. I told her that the appetizer WAS my entree. The rest of the time there we were pretty much ignored, especially when it came to getting drink refills. When she finally refilled my wifes iced tea, it was extremely diluted. I WAS going to buy a $50 gift card to give to friends the following day, but I put the nix on that.....Gonna get a gift card somewhere else now.

Dive bar feel: no windows, dark inside, minimal decor. FANTASTIC FOOD: we had the Southwest Burger and the D&D Burger. Both amazing, 1/2 lb burgers, cooked to order. Prezel dogs as our appetizer, tater tots and onion rings (literally the best Ive ever eaten) with the burgers. So much food for a great price. We took home at least half of what we were served. If we lived closer, wed be here frequently, but were from out of state.

Okay, so its a little shack. Its old. Its dark. It has a gravel parking lot. But it has excellent food and the staff is very nice and attentive. Bartender makes great cocktails too. Food portions are plentiful. Reminds me of one of those up-north little neighborhood joints with great food. Want great food at a great price, go to the Fogcutter.

Everything about this place screams - run ! I would never eat there, but my friends pick this place on our way from WI so I gave in. Big mistake - its old and dirty. Can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. Such a pity because the corner location of this place is really attractive but unfortunatly nothing else is...

Its a dive bar the parking lot is gravel and the bathrooms are very small but the food has always been great and the service is very good as well. The atmosphere is fun on the weekends and the drinks arent too expensive. Just know what you are getting into with the "dive bar" feel.

This place is dirty and stinks! Bathrooms are gross. Food isnt that great. Nothing like eating and smelling a backed up sewer. The young crowd is like renge of the nerds,you almost feel like your in the twlight zone. I will never go there again...

The place looks like hell outside but inside are fun, friendly locals with good drinks at low prices. Diverse crowd of young and old makes it an interesting place to people watch.

People that work here try to fight people in parking lot over a craigslist ad its just not a good place to be when everyone including the people that work there are drinking

Super food, great service. It looks like it was transplanted from about 500 miles north. Once you get past the rough exterior, its a great neighborhood bar and grill.

Very small inside. Looks like a shack from the outside. Once inside though the staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. Lots of good food and drink specials!!

Everything a dive bar should be. While Ive been there only once, the able bartender knows his cocktails well. The crowd is subtle, unpretentious and professional.
